78 CRYPTOGAMOUS PLANTS. 



will doubtless, at some future time be highly valued. No 

 other miuerals or metals of commercial im])orlaiicc, have 

 been discovered, except the uovaculite. The ledge of this 

 iStone, at Newport, formerly worked for hones, gave 

 great satisfoction. It, no doubt, is valuable. Another 

 ledge in Irasburg is, doubtless, of equal if not of gi-eater 

 value, luit has never been worked.

CATALOGUE 



OF 



CUnTTOGAMOUS OK FLOA^ EKLESS PLANTS 



OF VERMONT. 



By CHAS. C. FKOST, Erattleboro, Vt. 



The enumeration of these plants, is not intended to be a complete 

 Catalogue of Vermont Ciyptogamia, but merely of such as I have ob- 

 served in my visits to various parts of the state during the last fifteen 

 years. I am not aware that anything of this kind has yet been pub- 

 lished in the State ; and I submit this, therefore, as the beginning of a 

 more complete Catalogue which 1 am in hopes may be extended by 

 other l)otanists. It is a work which I think would amply repay them 

 for their labors, since there are probably few States that present, in 

 proportion to their areas, a greater number of richer varieties of this 

 series of plants. I possess well authenticated specimens of all men- 

 tioned, except a few which were destroyed in a late catasti-ophe.
